Open two of the same program?

Thorn · 06-04-2008, 01:07 AM

Is there a way to open two instances of the same program, say something like Nero Showtime?

Some applications do allow for multiple instances of itself being open. But that is a per application basis. You have to sheck the options of the applicaiton to know for sure. I do not think Nero is one of them.

Alright, yeah, I already checked.

If there is a little trick for this that anyone knows, let me know.

You could emulate another operating system and run it in there.. but thats alot of work.

There is no other trick. There is no other way.

You mean run a Virtual Machine just to run 2 instances of the same program. Would waste more resrouces than anything.

Yeah, don't see the point of doing it either, but it should work.

It would work. But you would lose roughly half of your resources to do it. Better off just running a similar application that does the same thing.

I don't like nero much anyways.. performs horribly on even the best of systems.
